From the PG:
"
Cornerback Brandon Carr signed a $50 million contract as a free agent to join the Cowboys this year. Previously, he played for Kansas City, where current Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley was head coach.
He said he used knowledge of Haley's tendencies to good use in overtime.
Roethlisberger won the coin toss and took the ball to start overtime. He completed a seven-yard pass to Heath Miller to the 27 on first down. On second down, he tried to throw a 10-yard out pass along the right sideline to Wallace. Roethlisberger's pass was a little behind Wallace, Carr made a nice play to jump on it and ran it 36 yards back to the one.
"It was the first time that guy backed off Mike," Roethlisberger said. "I called the out route for him and I just didn't put enough on it on the outside far enough and he made a good play."
Said Carr, "Knowing coach Haley, I kind of figured that play would be coming at some point in the game. It was zone coverage, so I was able to read the quarterback and the ball. ... It helped a lot playing for him, because it let me know how he thinks."

How is this Carr knowing Haley's tendencies if Ben admitted making a sight adjustment there based on where Carr had lined up with respect to Wallace ("It was the first time that guy backed off Mike," Roethlisberger said. "I called the out route for him and I just didn't put enough on it on the outside far enough and he made a good play.").

So Carr waits the entire game for Haley to call an out route. The route came in OT. I bet you could watch every game in the NFL and say you are waiting for an out and eventually you will see one. Then you can stand up and say "see, I told you I know how the OC thinks".

What a bunch of crap. The guy made a good play intercepting the ball and then our lazy receiver let him get up and return it inside the one. It had nothing to do with him knowing Haley.
